The 12v charging system is separate from the HV charging system. If the HV battery is full, the 12v charging system should be charging the lead acid. It only turns off when you hit 30% on the HV battery. And since you have a trailer connected, it SHOULD be trying to keep the 12v at 100% SoC...

The audible sensors you are talking about required a Lariat with the tech and co pilot package. the XLT didnt get them until 2025 when the safety equipment was more standardized. That is because you are talking about two different alarms. The moving vehicle is from the collision warning...

Corporate wont buy back a 4 year old vehicle, no matter how much you ask. CV axles are readily available from RockAuto. They're blowing smoke up your arse. There's 3 possible avenues you can take here. 1) take your truck somewhere else. This dealer sounds absolutely awful, and they're going...

They are both speced out with the same battery. Unless you are actively using those features, there is no difference in usage. Same charging hardware, same ECU, ece ece ece. In the days of K wiring the less speced out cards would have had significantly less wiring, but that hasnt been true for...

Check battery voltage, probably time for a swap.

E15 is not used for normal 87 octane gas. It's used for 88 octane. So unless OP bought the wrong gas, that's not the cause. What everyone was losing their minds over was Trump approving a switch of blends early, because the summer blend uses more ethanol then the winter blend does, to try and...

It's perfectly normal, in that asymmetrical offset way that kind of defines the Maverick.

I remember when I was test driving them, back to back the lariat was noticeably better on the highway. But dailying a XLT for work I cant say I notice road noise that much. I'd go for a third party acoustic one, honestly, the ford OEM ones seem awfully fragile.

Body on Frame. Dealers also matter. Around me there are three families of Ford dealers, and ALL of them have awful reputations for their service departments. I saw it first hand with my old work van, they gouged the rear door and it took an arm twisting from legal to get them to fix the thing...

Sounds like a basic power glitch. Modern vehicles do not fully turn off for some time, and power is never truly fully cut off, so the radio would stay on if the bug prevented it from shutting down. Next time it happens, you can yank the 12v line to force it to shut off. If the problem...

Quite frankly I cant believe that $100k F-150s dont fly off of dealer lots! I'm absolutely bamboozled! Flabbergasted! The lightning was this close to being good, that battery was just too darn small to be useful. Imagine if it'd had the same range as a chevy silEVarado..... Around me you cant...

Old people are absolutely scared of new tech. Especially in cars. Fears over Turbos, Hybrids, rear cameras, and so on is driven by a fear of technology that is different. We could expand it to all tech, if you had to work IT support you'd understand where that stereotype comes from. I swear if...

Utter Moose Muffins. The Ford Hybrid drivetrain has a very long successful record in the Escape. 6 year battery replacement? Total rubbish. Most of the escapes in the NYC taxi fleet hit 300k on the original HV battery. The EB has a major Achilles heel, that garbage 8f35 that needs babied...

In Brazil the Rampage is rated for 2,000kg, which was incorrectly labeled as pounds when TFL talked about it and everyone else parroted. That is 4,400 lbs. It's not that surprising, the Jeep Renegade built on the same platform could tow 2,000 lbs, with its smaller 1.4LT engine and its super...

Early 30s, had two for work, a 22 and now a 25. Both are white XLT fleet trims, meaning they have the 8 way power driver seat with lumbar but no heat and no heated wheel/mirrors or really any other XLT features. Still get tempted by Mavs constantly, especially those green ones. They are so...

About time we got some competition. RAM has far better interiors, so maybe Ford will have to step up and stop using playskool plastic and the worst seat cushioning since their 90s buckets. It's not 4x4, it is AWD. Jeep's "4x4" on anything but the wrangler platform or the grand Wagoneer is...

Modern engine on modern oil would absolutely mog a 70s engine on modern oil. Modern sensor packages preventing long rich running sessions on cold startup, preventing lean running, warning if overheating occurs, more precise machining and modern materials, ece ece ece. The chevy 350 went from a...

This seems rather rude. Most people overload the payload on their car at least a few times. Most people dont even know what the payload IS, and their family alone is enough to exceed it. Most people do not know that you can change transmission fluid, and will defer to Ford, who will tell them...

Maverick bed dimensions: 54.4" long 53.3" wide 20.3" deep 42.6" between wheel wells Santa Cruz bed dimensions: 52.1" long 53.9" wide 19.2" deep 42.7" between wheel wells. Doth protests too much about that 2" length difference. Both beds are tiny, if you want a large bed, get a large truck. The...

You're free to disagree, and I have no problem with that. Not everyone will see this the same The issue with saying " Losing 19 Billion dollars on a product that currently captures 6% market share IMHO qualifies as a niche product at best" is that A) the $19 billion is not on one product. It...
